I suspect we will see similar realignment continues as the globalists like Canada and the EU try to oppose President Trump and U.S. best interests.
Belarus stands in ideological opposition to the globalists in Europe and President Alexander Lukashenko is an ally of Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin. This announcement is a smack back against the leverage Canada claims to carry. Again, creating more distance between the USA and the Snow Mexicans.
Watch the interview with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer to understand exactly where this is going. The United States is systematically decoupling from Canada. When we cut the economic lifeline represented by the USMCA, Canada will be adrift.

I wonder how we would ship it. Except for its Russian border, Belarus is surrounded by hostile NATO countries and Ukraine.
Imagine what would really happen if a NATO Country actually stopped that shipment…
Use the Suwałki Gap and move freight trains between Belarus and Kaliningrad to ship the potash to the port and ship it out. Kaliningrad is an ice free port year round.
Plenty of potash in New Mexico
And Florida.
America has already done its best to maintain its own supplies and use others when safe for national security reasons. Why not save ours unless there’s a real need to utilize it? You can never determine what the future holds. You can only try to determine it and take actions that are in our best interest. Keeping our own treasures safe and secure while able to obtain from others seems a good course of action. We’ll have it if we need it.
i’ve thought the same about our oil reserves
Florida produces Phosphate not Potash….
New Mexico and Utah are the only significant producers of potash in the country. They together product around 400k tons a year. Canada produces 16 million a year. You need someone that produces millions of tons per year to replace Canada. China produced 6 million but they use all of it. Only ones that can close to match Canada’s production is Belarus and Russia and they only produce 3 million and 5 million respectively. Russia before the sanctions produced 9 million tons in 2021, same with Belarus at 7 million tons. They are the only ones that have the capacity to scale up fast enough for us to buy it.
Don’t you mean “New America”? (sarc)
I suspect that much of the potash will be Russian transshipped through Belarus. Like Chinese steel and parts are through Canada.
An Australian mining company, Aguia Resources (ASX:AGR), just started delivering potash from its Tres Estradas mine in Brazil to local ag groups at only $200-$250 per tonne (much cheaper than the Belarus or Canuck stuff).
There are other companies developing potash mines in Brazil and Australia. It’s quite easy to mine and process into usable fertilizer.
The bigger need is Nitrogen and Phosphorus (the other two in the N P K ratio you see on your fertilizer bag).
Nitrogen from hydrocarbon production and phosphorus from phosphate rock, silica sands and COKING COAL, all verboten by the climate cultists.
Why can’t Trump simply waive Russian sanctions on Potash under the authority granted him by the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 (Trump can adjust tariffs or sanctions at will) and then Belarus could increase Potash transport thru Russia for shipment?

“The Belarusian potash industry is now effectively dependent on Russian rail transit and port operations, as well as contracts with Chinese buyers.”

Who will lose their designated Potash supply from Belarus in order to supply it to America? China.
This Canadian podcaster thinks Trump is killing two birds (Canada and China) with one stone (although he wonders about the transportation issue).

@grok does Belarus have the ability to increase their production of potash if demand increases?

Yes. Belaruskali’s 2024 capacity was ~9 Mt/yr K2O equivalent versus 7.1 Mt produced, leaving spare room. The new Nezhinsky complex is starting up and targets 2 Mt of product annually. Large reserves (hundreds of millions of tons) support further expansion if markets and logistics demand it.

Mosaic, Nutrien dip after Trump says U.S. pursuing Belarus potash deal
Excerpt:
Shares of Mosaic (MOS) and Nutrien (NTR) briefly declined Monday after President Donald Trump said the United States is working on a major agreement to buy potash from Belarus at prices substantially below those currently paid for Canadian supplies.
For investors, the immediate reaction in Mosaic (MOS) and Nutrien (NTR) underscores concern that additional low-cost Belarusian supply could pressure potash prices and producer margins.
The near-term impact may be limited. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko is reported to have said Monday that the country has little potash available for Western buyers because essentially all of its 2026 production is already committed under existing contracts.
That makes the announcement potentially more significant for expectations about 2027 and beyond than for fertilizer supplies during the remainder of this year.

A very intelligent step. Plant relations. Countries with prosperity based purely only on mining are on the wrong path since 1945.
New Mexico and Utah are the only significant producers of potash in the country. They together product around 400k tons a year. Canada produces 16 million a year. You need someone that produces millions of tons per year to replace Canada. China produced 6 million but they use all of it. Only ones that can close to match Canada’s production is Belarus and Russia and they only produce 3 million and 5 million respectively. Russia before the sanctions produced 9 million tons in 2021, same with Belarus at 7 million tons. They are the only ones that have the capacity to scale up fast enough for us to buy it.

Elbows up, Marky! I’m sure your EU buds will ride to your rescue!

Snow Mexicans! I laugh out loud every time I see or hear that!
A Canada adrift can ask the Chinese to step in and do all kinds of things out of spite against Trump.
In the long run Canada cannot be allowed to remain independent. Right now Chinese car corps are buying out all car factories the Japanese and Americans are leaving behind. They’ll try to dump Chinese cars into the market and all it takes is a Dem presidency to screw Americans in triplicate.
Lukashenko just stated Belarus has no available volume left to supply to the US
Existing Contracts: Belarusian leadership noted that all current output is already fully contracted.
What now Donald??
